I am here today with my last post as a design team member for 3 Girl JAM. I have had the privilege of serving on this design team for almost 2 years now and I have enjoyed every moment of it!! However, I felt the end of this term was a good time for me to step aside and allow some other talented crafters a chance at working with this fabulous company. So, with that said, let me share with you a card I made for my post today -

Wow!! Only two days until Christmas!! Today is my turn to post on the Craftin Desert Divas blog and I have a card to share with you that I made for my coworker also my daughter's ballet teacher. I used a sentiment from the "Happy Celebrations" stamp set. I used a digital stamp from The Greeting Farm and colored it with my new Spectrum Noir markers. (Bare with me as I am still mastering the technique of coloring with alcohol markers)

Here is a closeup of the sentiment -

I just love this stamp set because it covers almost every holiday you can think of!! Click on the photo below to shop for this great set in the Craftin Desert Divas store.

I wanted to share with you one of the other things I made for my coworker -

I used an image from the Silhouette store and cut it out of black vinyl and adhered it to a Softsoap bottle that I had taken the label off of. Thanks for stopping by today and Merry Christmas!!

I did a print and cut for my sentiment and backed the card with some cute paper from Doodlebug. I hope I have inspired you if you are in need of a last minute Christmas card. Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!!﻿

Hello! Today is my turn to post on the 3 Girl JAM blog and I have a quick Christmas box to share that is the perfect size to house a gift card or small treat. I am giving my nephews gift cards this Christmas and this will go to one of them.

I tied a length of "Holly Berry" crinkle ribbon from the 3 Girl JAM Winter Bundle around the middle of my box. I created a triple bow using my 3 Girl JAM Bow Maker and then hot glued the cute Santa Claus flair from the 3 Girl JAM "Christmas" flair collection to the center of my bow. Finally I hot glued my bow and flair to the middle of the ribbon that was wrapped around the box - Voila!! a cute box to hide a gift card. Thanks for stopping by today!!

Don't forget the 3 Girl JAM Design Team call is going on right now. For more information please go HERE. Also, don't forget about our current challenge for the month of December - "gratitude/thankful". You can find out more as well as link up your projects here.

Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Deck The Halls" blog hop. You should have arrived here from the lovely Nanne. If you missed the start of the blog hop, then you will want to head over to the lovely Lisa.

Today the PPPR design team is showcasing projects that could be used for Christmas decorations featuring files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. Here is my project for the hop -

I used the PPPR "Peppermint Cutting files" and cut the candy cane image out with vinyl. I used a softsoap container that had clear soap in it and removed the label that came on it with some Goo Gone and Windex. I added some ribbon I had in my stash from Michaels and Voila!! I have two holiday soap dispensers - one to keep and one to give away!!

Today also starts a new monthly challenge for PPPR and the them is "Christmas". The projects can be anything that is Christmas themed and features Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files.

Today is my turn to post on the 3 Girl JAM blog. Can you believe we are two days into December already - the "busy" season is upon us. I decided to create a few tags to add to my dwindling collection in order to help prepare for Christmas wrapping.

I "tied" up my tags using some 3 Girl JAM "Natural Jute" ribbon and some red/green striped ribbon from the new 3 Girl JAM "Holiday Trim". I love how the colors all work together so well. This cute little elf is a freebie from Whimsie Doodles. I finished off my tags with a couple of flowers I got from Michaels. Thanks for stopping by today!!
